Pure Souls

(アルバム： Donda - 2021)

Life change when you famous
I remember, back before the chains, we was nameless
Went through stages just to hop on new stages
Open up your eyes, man, they only entertainers
And I cannot sell my soul (Soul)
And I cannot sell my soul (Soul)
And I cannot sell my soul (Yeah, soul)
And I cannot sell my soul (Jesus saved my soul)
And I cannot sell my soul

I've been at the top shining like a light pole
And I'm just a product of whatever I was raised in
This money sanctified, so I gotta say it again
They said I was mad at the Grammys
But I'm looking at my Grammy right now
Pulled up on Ye, and I said, "They don't understand me"
I just want my dawg to pipe down
'Cause when you really came from the trenches
You was raised in the trenches (Mm)
You feel like you trailblazed for the trenches (Mm)
I hope God can forgive me for the days that I was sinning (Mhm)

The truth is only what you get away with, huh?
(Man, all these lying ...)
I said the truth is only what you get away with, huh?
Ayy, that's why a lot of these ... be faking, huh
Made it through the trials and tribulations, huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh, uh, well, well, here goes
Well, here goes, but here goes
I was one of them weirdos of the pure soul
That would go to the flea market to buy fake clothes
Every color Girbauds, every Cutlass is cold
Every cousin that stole, every summer was cold
Out of all of the Moes, out of all of the Folks
After all of the jokes, I'm the one that was chose
All of my friends love to gangbang
How we in my car and you say we ain't in the same lane?
When we both had Pelles on
And we was scamming for the prom before Chief Keef was "Bang, Bang"
Always had mob ties
Stood on my six points, how could I not rise?
Love, truth, peace, freedom, justice, but I'm not five
This Southside, and we outside
This Southside, and we outside
This Southside, and we outside
This Southside, and we outside
This Southside, and we outside
And for all the guys that went to the White House and said, "Free the old man"
Every day I put my life on the line to feed the whole clan
Personal worth is not what a person is worth
I can give a dollar to every person on Earth
Man, it's gotta be God's plan
Man, I swear these boys keep playing
We gon' have to square up then
We gon' have to send it up then
We gon' have to send it up then
We gon' have to send it up then, uh
We gon' have to send it up then
We gon' have to send it up then
My favorite place to send it

It ain't how it used to be
This the new me, so get used to me
It ain't how it used to be
This the new me, so get used to me
Looking in the mirror, it's the truth of me
Looking at my kids, it's the proof of me
Devil get behind me, I'm loose, I'm free
Father, Holy Spirit, let loose on me
Father, I'm Yours exclusively
Devil get behind me, I'm loose, I'm free
Father, Holy Spirit, let loose on me
Father, I'm Yours exclusively
Devil get behind me, I'm loose, I'm free
Devil get behind me, I'm loose, I'm free

The truth is only what you get away with, huh
I said the truth is only what you get away with, huh?
Ayy, that's why a lot of these ... be faking, huh
Made it through the trials and tribulations, huh

Woah, oh, yeah-yeah
The truth the only thing you get away with (Can't get away)
Oh, no (No)
The truth the only thing you get away with (Woah-woah, oh)
The truth (I did it), the truth
The truth the only thing you get away with
Oh-oh (Altogether, trust again)
The truth the only thing you get away with
(I can trust again, I can only trust in Him, woah)
The truth (Oh, yeah)
The truth the only thing you get away with (Can't get away)
Oh, oh
The truth the only thing you get away with
The truth (The truth), the truth (Woah)
He know every side of, every side of you (Oh)
Don't shine through
They could never hide from you (The truth)
He can see it, birdseye view
The truth the only thing you get away with
Won't get away
Oh, oh
They can never hide from you
They can never hide, hide from you (No, no)
The truth
The truth the only thing you get away with
Get away, get away, oh-woah
The truth the only thing you get away with
The truth, the truth
The truth the only thing you get away with
